After Chechnya ceased to be a counterterrorist operation (CTO) zone, law-enforcement bodies have strengthened pressure on young people.

Ladies and gentlemen! High Conference! Please allow me to express my sincere thanks for the opportunity to speak from this podium. I would like to bring one important message to the attention of this conference. My nation is one of the most ancient in the world. The Caucasian race takes its name from our ancient ancestor Caucas.

This is a remarkable fact of our history. The Chechen people have […]

The Decree number 1-B of the ChRI Parliament describes the proclamation of the ‘Emirate’ by the former President of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeriya Dokka Umarov as ‘a self withdrawal from the execution of presidential duties’. One could try and guess why this self-evident ‘gravest crime’ (article 2.2 of the ChRI Constitution) is called ‘a self-withdrawal’. I do not purport to impinge on the exclusive right of the Chechen Members of Parliament to interpret the laws of the Chechen Republic (article 64.14). I shall simply put forward my impressions.

Without waiting for an official annoucement of the already known results of the pseudo-referendum on the so-called Constitution for Chechens, the Russian President Putin declared the problem of territorial integrity of the Russian Federation finally solved. Six weeks later, in his annual Address to the Federal Assembly on May 16 Putin described the situation in Chechnya in the following terms: “De jure and de facto the integrity of the RF has been restored.” Despite our extremely negative opinion on the Russian president we must admit that by saying that he has made a crucial statement. His statement means that first, […]
